It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Early that morning, Song Zhi went into the city with a team of people selling jelly to deliver their goods.

Song Zhi first asked her eldest brother and Uncle Song, the coachman, to stay in the backyard of the inn to guard the ox cart and the goods, while she went to the front yard to meet Xu Feng.

Xu Feng politely poured a cup of tea for Song Zhi, "Thank you for your hard work on the journey, Madam Song, please have some tea!"

Song Zhi readily took the teacup and said with a smile, "Making money is not hard at all. Besides, if you want to talk about hardship, it should be the hardship of traveling thousands of miles!"

After a few pleasantries, Song Zhi got straight to the point, "I've already brought all three hundred kilograms of tea. It's now in the backyard of the inn. Mr. Xu, please come with me to inspect the goods."

Xu Feng stood up and the group came to the backyard of the inn.

Song Zhi slowly walked to the ox cart and carefully opened the pottery jar tightly wrapped in oil paper.

Suddenly, a fresh and rich tea aroma wafted into my nose.

Xu Feng stepped forward and carefully examined the tea leaves in the jar. The leaves were intact and uniform in color, without any breakage, burntness, or blackening.

He gently picked up a few pieces and put them to his nose to sniff. The tea fragrance became stronger and stronger, with a hint of the fresh scent of the mountains.

The quality of this tea is even comparable to the high-quality tea they had previously purchased from merchants in the south.

Unfortunately, this tea is not well-known, and he is worried that its sales will be affected.

Otherwise he would definitely buy more.

He no longer continued to examine it carefully, but waved his hand to signal Rong Bo and others to take over the processing of this batch of tea.

He led Song Zhi aside with a smile on his face, "I have already prepared the wool that Madam Song needs, a full cart, about 600 kilograms.

"Would you like to see the goods?"

When Song Zhi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded obediently and followed Xu Feng to the place where the wool was piled.

The wool was piled up randomly in bamboo baskets. It had only been simply cleaned, and the color and smell were not very good.

Song Zhi knew that the wool would need to be thoroughly cleaned before it could be spun into yarn, so her expression did not change.

He nodded and agreed: "I want all these wools!"

Xu Feng also couldn't understand. What was the use of this wool?

This thing is something that no one wants in their Shuo City.

But he was a smart businessman and knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Seeing that Song Zhi had no objection, he immediately invited Song Zhi back to her room in the inn and took out some silver to settle the bill with her.

"According to our previous agreement, the price is 45 wen per catty, so 300 catties would be 13 liang and 500 wen."

"One ounce of tea leaves equals ten catties of wool. Six hundred catties of wool equals two hundred and seventy coins."

"How about this, I'll just pay you thirteen and three hundred coins. I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Song Zhi did not refuse and said with a smile, "In that case, thank you very much, Master Xu!"

The two parties settled the payment and goods, and both were very satisfied with the transaction.

Before leaving, Song Zhi suggested, "Mr. Xu, if you can bring your livestock to Qishui County to sell next year, and if you don't need the wool, why not continue to trade it with me for tea, or other goods?"

"Of course, the price of wool can be renegotiated by then, and it won't be as cheap as it is today."

At this time, Xu Feng did not believe that the price of wool would rise so much in the coming year.

But he still nodded in agreement. He would not even consider using the wool to make a small fortune.

But just because the other party needs the wool now, he can use this wool to maintain the connection between the two.

Xu Feng was still happy to see it happen.

Based on what he had learned in the city in the past few days, this Miss Song was able to speak to the county magistrate.

For this reason alone, he has to manage the relationship between the two of them well.

At this time, Song Zhi had no idea what the other party was thinking. After saying goodbye to Xu Feng, Song Zhi led everyone out of the inn.

The group did not stay in the city for long and followed the ox cart straight back home.

There is only half a day of work to do tomorrow, so the courtyard is still busy. Everyone is doing their job and not doing things perfunctorily just because the deadline has arrived.

Song Zhi and her elder brother first put several bamboo baskets of wool back into the utility room.

Then he went back to his room, closed the door and dragged a box out from under the bed.

Start counting the income of the past ten days.

The pastry shop produces eight kilograms of pastries every day, and an average daily income of seven hundred yuan from jelly. After deducting the money spent on beans, oil, salt and seasonings, Song Zhi counted the remaining money.

To her surprise, there were 3120 copper coins.

That is thirty taels and one hundred and twenty coins!

Adding the 13 taels and 300 coins she had just received, she now had 43 taels and 420 coins.

Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, finally being able to pay back the money she owed.

Song Zhi put all the counted silver and money back into the wooden box, preparing to discuss the repayment issue with her family later.
